$250,000 Ferrari gone 'bust'!

Woops!

Quote:
A YOUNG man wrecked a Ferrari worth a quarter of a million dollars, but escaped serious injury, when he crashed into a Stobie pole at Walkerville today.

The driver and his passenger have been taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital for treatment after the accident just before noon.

Both men walked from the wreckage, leaving the expensive five-year-old 360 Modena model literally wrapped around the pole on Lansdowne Ave.

The car, valued at around $250,000, crashed a few minutes after residents saw it "zinging" past their homes at high speed.

Insurance company will want to talk to those residents, so it can get out of paying

I know - I'd be rolling on the ground crying like a little girl if I was the owner of that car...

and they shouldn't have to pay. I'm amazed they both survived by the statements made by the residents of that neighbourhood he was doing in excess of 100kph, it's just a miracle that no-one else was injured.

If you were the owner of that car would you have been driving it like a tosser to begin with?

I'd be more upset to see a lamborghini wrapped around a pole.

may have to wait til he gets his licence back, I'd imagine that incident would merit an instant disqualification! In the meantime this present should see him get by http://www.kidscentral.com.au/p-2536...trike-boy.aspx
